Ha ha, not a good option, anyway. One can back a four-wheel, tongue-steered trailer, but it's not easy. We had two farm wagons made that way when I was a youngster and I could back them into a barn door with grandad Sam's '54 Ford NAA tractor. It took quite a bit of practice, as well as patience. You had to concentrate on the direction the tongue pointed to even have half a chance at success. You had to keep the tongue reasonably straight (square) with your tractor. It's been a while, but I think I could still do it with power steering.
It would be very hard to do with a long wheel based truck.
